New Bern, NC at Christmas time

the best thing about a busy weekend is that it makes a monday at home seem so wonderful.  a monday at home means i can finally get some n.c. pictures out.  good morning.

lunch for the hair artist

jerk santa rode off waving at the thrilled 3 year old screaming his name and begging and jumping to cross the street.
see if you get any letter this year.  jerk.
(just kidding.  we don't send letters anyhow.  the truth is out if you know what i'm saying. but there is something so exciting about that red suit to p)

this was surprising as we had just watched 'brave'

i wish it said 'merry Christmas'

so proud

mother sighting

the sweetest street performer on earth.

so excited to give a tip

chalk artist in the making.
also the reason p got her picture in a local n.c. paper two years running.
i think journalist photographers just can't resist that cute space in her teeth.
i can't.
